New "Do"

Adrienne got a cute new haircut on Friday. This is the first time she's really had a cut since her hair started coming back in almost two years ago. Before that, she just got her bangs trimmed. It looks really good.

This has been a fairly uneventful week since Monday's chemo. Adrienne felt "yucky" until Thursday but now says she feels back to normal. She even went for a one hour walk this morning with minimal pain in her hip. She won't do the half marathon in Humbolt next weekend but she will come along to cheer the team on and help the coaches with whatever they need.

I've asked Dr. Negrin, the head of BMT at Stanford, to take Adrienne as a patient. No word back yet on whether that will work, as I've heard he isn't taking new patients but Adrienne is hardly new to transplant. Apparently the transplant doc at the children's hospital finally talked with him (after promising to do so a month ago) but never got back to me with a plan. We would like a doctor that is responsive and offers Adrienne some more alternatives.

Daniel had a "fun" day at traffic school today for making an illegal U-turn. He thinks he was the only one in the class that didn't have a speeding ticket. Two other kids from his high school were there.

Tonight is Passover at our house. It should be fun.
